Malta's version of England's Stonehenge. Obviously not as striking as Stonehenge but two separate sites, Hagar Qim and in the same ticket by walking 800 metres further to Mnajdra are interesting. While I understand why there might be a need for the protective covers over both sites regrettably it does detract from the impact they would otherwise have. They are not large structures and instead the canopies dominate the view until you are under them and inside the sites. Stonehenge is seen from miles around, grows as you get closer and is quite dominating close up. Not here.

Spent several hours here at this amazing site. So much of the is still intact and the different styles of the two temples is quite thought provoking. Hagar Qim is very protected whereas you feel you are walking through Mnajdra more. We used the audio guide which was informative and made us look at areas that might have been dismissed. There is also a 17th century fort on the site which you can see the outside of, and some lovely nature walks that are quite well signposted.

There are 2 temples in the location. We got a bolt / uber to the location, but I noticed a local bus also stops at the entrance. At the entrance there is a 3 d film about the temples is a must do with loads of helpful info. You then walk to the first temple which is under a massive tent to keep the sun off the stones. The second temple is a short walk down hill and is also covered with a tent. You are allowed to walk in the temples and there are info boards dotted around. The temples are on the coast with stunning views out to sea. There are toilets on site and a van selling drinks and ice cream.

This is an amazing site and so worth the time and money to come and see them. It's 10 euro entry, but if you are looking to visit a lot of Heritage Malta sites it would be worth the money for a 30 day card which gives you free entry and other discounts in HM premises. We actually used the Malta Discount card which lets you in Half price to HM sites, lots of other attractions and gets you money offin a good selection of restaurants. It costs about 37 euros for a two person card, we saved a lot. 10 euros on this site alone. Anyway back to the site. It has a little museum at the start and a short 4D film show, which would be good to see before you go outside. Also use your phone to download the guide to direct yourselves around the sites. Both sites are covered to help preserve the relatively soft local stone from the worst of the elements. (Also welcome shade from the sun) Hagar Qim is a very impressive ancient site with lots of intricate stonework, all the more impressive when you consider what they had to create it with. Especially when you learn how long ago it was, Stonehenge is positively a baby compared to these. When you finish here there is a 600m walk along a track them a walkway to the equally impressive but smaller Mnajdra temples. Just try and imagine these temples in there heyday and the awesome cliff and sea backdrop it must have been breathtaking. At the end of our visit we enjoyed an ice cream from the Step in van while we waited for our bus. A nice end to a memorable attraction.

Very interesting site, with a free audio guide which I find always makes the difference. Don't forget your bluetooth headphones as the guide is downloaded on your phone. There is a stunning view out to sea, and it was a gorgeous day in December when we visited.

Very nice and well kept archeological site. If you are interested in archeology and/or art/history, you cannot miss this megalithic display. 1 ticket (eur15 per adult) includes access to the very near located Mnajdra complex, too. You can easily reach the temples by bus from Valletta on a direct bus route.

Incredible site to see experience these standing stones that predate Stonehenge Beautiful setting Well managed site with museum/ toilets/ parking. Check days of opening if out of season. Nice walks too around the cliffs.

The day I visited it was very quiet, the bus stop at the bottom of a short walk to the ticket office. There’s a short history of the temples before you walk down to the temple its self. I found it difficult to follow the numbering system. There’s a lovely paved walk down to the Temples (you will get your ticket checked again) with lovely views out to sea and the island of Filfla. Past the first temple is a long walk down (and back the same way) to a further smaller temple. There are also some cliff walks marked out. After the visit I walked the short distance to the Blue Grotto but be warned that the pavement ends on a blind corner so I opted to walk along the wall for a bit.

An amazing place and so very, very old - neolithic! A fabulous setting. The introduction film and exhibits in the visitors centre set the scene very well. It leaves so many questions still unanswered. We took the bus from Valetta which was on time and the driver helpful. After visiting, we walked down to the Blue Grotto - about 20 mins walk downhill. Then we picked up the bus on the way back - no probs with the buses at all.

Excellent archeological excavation site of expected temples and some great descriptions of why they have reached the conclusions they present. I really found the statements regarding open questions for what they have uncovered to be refreshing and intriguing! What has been created without modern conveniences is truly amazing!
